Comment (by Fab1en):

 I thinks that another behavior is to be fixed at the same time : using a
 scalar variable.
 We should be able to do this :

 {{{
 wp_localize_script( 'main', 'localized_variable', 'a scalar value' );
 }}}

 As of version 3.9.1, this is working : it generates a JavaScript scalar
 value, but a PHP Warning is thrown :
 {{{
 Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in
 /server/projects/other/quatreheures/esope/htdocs/wp-includes/class.wp-
 scripts.php on line 167
 }}}

 I suggest to add another test to avoid this issue.
